If only we could throw our ethics out the window and breed doodle dogs, I'd have the ultimate wedding of my dreams and no financial problems at all!

I'd laugh if it wasn't so painfully true.

One of my degus is really sick...and I'm not taking him to the vet. I mean, I don't have the money, and the only exotics vet is over an hour away. So I feel guilty, as usual when I see one of my small pets really sick, but there's only so much I want/can do.

And of course, it's not my really old degu (who's around 5 or 6 years old), but my young not-quite-two year old goo.

Lenny WILL NOT COME IN. I have begged, cajoled, offered snacks, taken the others out to walk in with him, and called him in the sweetest voice I could muster up.

Would it be wrong to let him freeze out there? Honesty...I am DONE.

Joyce, how long did he stay out there the other night? He must really like the snow and obviously it doesn't bother him. You are having a crazy time with them all right now. But of course our Precious Darlene is perfect. I love her.

My "little" Ollie dog likes the cold too. She is about 12" tall and the shoulders, we had 10 1/2" inches of snow on the ground last winter & she tromped around in it like she knew what she was doing. We have a couple inches of ice on the ground right now & she wont stay in the house.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.
